Contacts Question

[James]

When I try to send a new email from outlook 2000, and press the TO button, i
go through my list of contacts, and it shows most of them 2 times, 1 time is
email, the other time is fax, how do i go about removing the fax entry from
here? I don't want to delete the fax number from the contact, but just
don't want it to show up when i press the TO button.

Thanks

The standard behavior for the Outlook Address book is to display all
electronic addresses (both fax and e-mail). That behavior cannot be changed.
The only way to prevent the display of fax numbers is to store them in a
different field or to disguise them (e.g., precede them with an alpha
character) so that Outlook won't recognize them as phone numbers.
